Network downtime Thursday 17th 9.30-10.30

There will be a period of network downtime at the RAI tomorrow morning while essential maintenance work takes place. The downtime will begin around 9.30am and is likely to continue for around an hour. There will be no access to library PCs, wifi, or the photocopier while the network is down. Apologies!

 

Power shutdown, 1st floor: 14th-15th September

As part of the lighting replacement work there will be a shutdown of all power to the first floor on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th September. Those desks that are not in the closed area for the lighting work will still be available for use but please note that there will be no power to the plug sockets or desk lamps.

Desks elsewhere in the library will be unaffected, so please sit elsewhere if you want to plug a laptop in on those two days.
